Sensex jumps over 500 points at open as Nifty crosses 24,300 on weak US jobs data and softer crude
A sharply weaker US June jobs print (57k vs 100k expected) is reinforcing expectations of a more accommodative Fed, pressuring the dollar and lifting risk appetite. Gold reacted strongly (spot +1.4%), while softer crude adds a tailwind for oil-importing emerging markets like India, supporting the Sensex/Nifty rally. Near-term focus shifts to rates repricing and cross-asset volatility around US macro data.
